Warning:
For checks and preventive maintenance, the operator must take all necessary precautions to avoid injury.
Circuit-breaker test: Unless specified otherwise in the special indications below, all operations (inspection, test and preventive maintenance) must
be carried out with the circuit breaker (device and chassis) and the auxiliary circuits de-energised.
Checks to ensure that the circuit breaker is de-energised must be carried out on the upstream and downstream terminals.
Test equipment: The high voltages used for certain tests are dangerous and may result in serious injury or death. During the tests, it is strictly
forbidden for anyone to touch the circuit breaker or the conductors while voltage is applied.
Return to operation: Before putting the equipment back into operation, it is mandatory to check that all connections are made with the correct
tightening torque, the inside of the cabinet is clean, all protective covers are in position and the circuit breaker is off (open position).
Subassembly Device

Note. The loss of display does not affect
the protection functions. Settings and data
can be viewed via the test connector and
the Micrologic RSU and RDU/RCU utilities.
Connection
Visually check:
- for a change in colour of the terminals,
indicating abnormal temperature rise,
- the condition of cable insulation If the cables show signs of colour change
(cracks, shrinking, etc.). or damage to insulation:
apply the procedure for power
connections (NIII_2_1).
Note.
Sulphuration (oxidation) of silver, due
to the excessive temperature rise that it
causes, can result in destruction of
contacts.
Solid-silver and silver-plated contacts,
when in contact with SO2 (sulphur dioxide)
and H2S (hydrogen sulphide), blacken with
the presence of a sulphide which increases
contact resistance and temperature rise.
Silver sulphide is not a passivation layer:
- its surface resistivity varies between
105 and 1010 m,
- its hardness is approximately half that
of silver, i.e. 150 N/mm.
Fixed device
Check that terminals are not blackened.

Test equipment: The high voltages used for certain tests are dangerous and may result in serious injury or death. During the tests, it is strictly
forbidden for anyone to touch the circuit breaker or the conductors while voltage is applied.
Return to operation: Before putting the equipment back into operation, it is mandatory to check that all connections are made with the correct
tightening torque, the inside of the cabinet is clean, all protective covers are in position and the circuit breaker is off (open position).
